The Rohde & Schwarz HMC8042-G is a Dual Output Bench Power Supply Unit with GPIB Interface. This power supply has a high specification and a wide range of functions which are ideal for use in development labs and industrial environments. Thanks to its high energy efficiency, the linear power supply remains cool and quiet, even at maximum load. The HMC8042-G has a maximum power of up to 100W and a continuous voltage range from 0V to 32V, and will deliver a maximum of 5A.
This two-channel model enables users to connect multiple outputs in parallel or in series to increase the voltage or current. The outputs are galvanically isolated, floating, and protected against overloading and short circuits. The voltage, current and power values are displayed on a brilliant 3.5 inch QVGA TFT screen.
The HMC8042-G offers a wide range of logging functions, an integrated energy meter and electronic fuses that can be individually combined for each channel. This linear switching power supply will ensure high efficiency, for minimum heat dissipation even at full load.
